There is no medical proof and only few think so. Alongside thinking about the ph status of the reproductive tract, shettles' idea was that y sperm (leading to male babies) swim faster than x sperm (leading to female babies), therefore if sex is timed close to ovulation they will arrive at the egg first. However, y sperm live fast and die young.
